The crystal coffin, which they could not see clearly at first, entirely came into view. Inside it lay a woman in ancient costume.
Ye Leng’an and Huangfu Ruiling stepped forward, and they soon arrived in front of the crystal coffin. Through the transparent crystal, they could clearly see the person inside the crystal coffin.
The woman lying inside was dressed in red. She had stunning features although her eyes were closed. However, it did not affect her appearance at all. It made people look forward to what kind of beauty this woman would be when she opened her eyes.
At this moment, she was lying in the crystal coffin. Although pale-faced, she looked like she was asleep instead of having passed away. The way she was lying there quietly made people fearful of waking her up.
“Who do you think this woman is?” Ye Lengan nudged Huangfu Ruiling with her elbow and said, “Also, don’t you think that this tunnel seems a little strange?”
If everything seemed normal before, then it was quite weird now. This crystal coffin seemed to indicate that this was not an ordinary tunnel, but…
“This should be a tomb!” Huangfu Ruiling said directly, “If I’m not wrong, we should be in the main tomb now.”
Ye Leng’an nodded, agreeing with his guess.
If it was just a simple tunnel, there wouldn’t be so many traps. If this was a tomb, then it would make sense. Obviously, all the mechanisms outside were protecting the crystal coffin in the main tomb. To be exact, it was protecting the person in the crystal coffin.
“Tomb…” An idea flashed into her mind. She remembered the murals she saw at the beginning, and then she had a bold guess. “Do you think the person in the crystal coffin could be Su Yin?”
The woman lying inside the crystal coffin was dressed in red. It was very similar to Su Yin’s dress that they had seen in the mural. But…
“If the person inside is Su Yin, then who built this tomb?”
Su Yin had left behind a curse before she died, so Duo Benli definitely wouldn’t be so kind as to spend so much effort to build such a tomb for Su Yin. To be able to build such a tomb meant that there should be a deep friendship between that person and Su Yin. So who was it?
“It might be someone from the Sorcerer Tribe!” Huangfu Ruiling said flatly,
“The style of this tomb shows the characteristics of the Sorcerer Tribe. Maybe Su Yin’s tribesmen found her and built such a tomb for her!”
Ye Leng’an shrugged and looked at the person in the crystal coffin, saying, “The person who built this tomb is a thoughtful person. There must be something hidden in this crystal coffin. Otherwise, it will be impossible for this corpse to not decay after so many years.”
“Forget about it.” Huangfu Ruiling said, “Since this tomb was built by someone, there must be a way out.”
Otherwise, how could that person get out after the crystal coffin was placed here?
Ye Leng’an naturally agreed with Huangfu Ruiling. They shifted their attention away from the crystal coffin and began to look for the mechanism in the stone room to see where the exit was.
The change seemed to have happened in an instant. When she turned around, she accidentally kicked the stool. For a moment, she lost her balance and was about to fall. She turned around and immediately held onto something to stabilize her body.
After regaining her balance, she realized that the thing she had held onto to steady herself in the heat of the moment was actually the lid of the crystal coffin. At this moment, the lid of the crystal coffin actually opened a crack with her strength.
In a flash, Huangfu Ruiling came to Ye Leng’an’s side.
She did not notice that he had come to her side. All her attention was on the person in the crystal coffin.
“Huangfu Ruiling, look, there seems to be a box inside.”
Through the crack, she could clearly see that the woman was holding a small box in her hand. She had no idea what was inside.
Huangfu Ruiling naturally saw it. Without any hesitation, he reached out his hand and pushed the lid of the crystal coffin away.
Soon, they saw what was inside the crystal coffin, and it was different from what they saw through the crystal coffin. This time, the woman lying there could be seen more clearly. She should have been dead for many years. but she looked like she was sleeping, and people were fearful of wakening her.
“Aargh…” At this moment, a faint sigh sounded. In this empty stone room, it was especially obvious, and at the same time, it was creepy.
Huangfu Ruiling immediately protected Ye Leng’an behind him, then raised his head and looked around. He knew that with Ye Leng’an’s strength, she would be fine. However, he was still subconsciously protecting her.
Just as they were waiting in readiness, a blurry figure gradually appeared above the crystal coffin. The figure was faintly discernible as if it would disappear at any moment. However, the most surprising thing was that her face was exactly the same as the person lying in the crystal coffin.
“You don’t have to be afraid. I never wanted to hurt you.” The figure looked at the two people in front of her and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
“Moreover, I’m only a remnant soul now. I’ve never thought of doing anything to you.”
Ye Leng’an looked at the remnant soul and understood. Then, she walked out from behind Huangfu Ruiling and looked at the blurry figure. Without beating around the bush, she asked directly, “You are Su Yin, aren’t you?”
The remnant soul paused for a brief moment, seemingly not expecting Ye Leng’an to call out her name. She then nodded in agreement. “That’s right, I’m Su Yin. However, this is only a wisp of my soul. After today, even this wisp of soul would disappear. At that time, I might vanish from this world.”
Then, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. When she looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, there was a faint vigilance in her eyes, as if she was going to attack at any time. “You are people from the village.”
“No.” Ye Leng’an said straightforwardly, “We are from the outside world. We were plotted against by the people in this village, so we fell down.”
After hearing Ye Leng’an’s reply, Su Yin slowly let down her guard. She then said, “It’s fate that we met today. Moreover, I want to entrust my most important thing to you today..”
